The sheer number of videos taken “the wrong way round” (for my computer’s monitor) is mind-boggling. I get that some people watch videos on their phones, but is it really that many?

I wish I could at least block Shorts.
For uBlock:
! YT Homepage - Hide the Shorts section youtube.com##[is-shorts] ! YT Menu - Hide the Shorts button www.youtube.com###guide [title="Shorts"], .ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer[title="Shorts"] ! YT Search - Hide Shorts www.youtube.com##ytd-search ytd-video-renderer [overlay-style="SHORTS"]:upward(ytd-video-renderer) ! YT Search and Channels - Hide the Shorts sections www.youtube.com##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer ! YT Channels - Hide the Shorts tab www.youtube.com##ytd-browse[page-subtype="channels"] [role="tab"]:nth-of-type(3):has-text(Shorts) ! YT Subscriptions - Hide Shorts - Grid View www.youtube.com##ytd-browse[page-subtype="subscriptions"] ytd-grid-video-renderer [overlay-style="SHORTS"]:upward(ytd-grid-video-renderer) ! YT Subscriptions - Hide Shorts - List View www.youtube.com##ytd-browse[page-subtype="subscriptions"] ytd-video-renderer [overlay-style="SHORTS"]:upward(ytd-item-section-renderer) ! YT Sidebar - Hide Shorts www.youtube.com###related ytd-compact-video-renderer [overlay-style="SHORTS"]:upward(ytd-compact-video-renderer)Seems quite extensive, but… do I place some and/or all of it on the “My rules” or “My filters” tab on uBlock?
Paste it at the bottom of your “my filters” section. Be sure to “Apply” when done.
My Filters indeed
Nice! Is there a version that would work on PiHole?
I don’t think that would work. PiHole works on a DNS level and has no insight to the encrypted connection to Youtube. So it cannot see or modify the site content on the fly. uBlock Origin basically can (beside DNS based blocking) modify the websites’ code after it has loaded into your browser.
I’ll give it a try but in the past those ublock filters did not really work at all for me.
Doesn’t seem to work. Do I need to restart? I still see #shorts videos in my sub feed.
I’m using uBlock Origin.
don’t we all.
“Enhacer for YouTube” (a Firefox extension, and maybe Chromium too) hides shorts for good.
I already use that and still get the occasional short in my suggestions.
When I search for a video, they appear too. But there is no menu option for shorts in the left sidebar, and they don’t appear in your home or subscription page either.
i have a browser extension that does it
Yeah me too. I don’t want to see shorts on my subscriptions page
